Aetius and Benivenius speak of recovery in such cases after loss of the whole uterus.

Cazenave of Bordeaux relates a most marvelous case in which a primipara suffered in labor from an impacted head.

She was twenty-five, of very diminutive stature, and was in labor a long time.

After labor, sloughing of the parts commenced and progressed to such an extent that in one month there were no traces of the labia, nymphae, vagina, perineum, or anus.

There was simply a large opening extending from the meatus urinarius to the coccyx.
